CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 2/7/2017

In the Good Name of the Company

One thing we can all agree upon following the post-inaugural protests: when left to their own devices, Americans will make the most amazing posters. In homage to the DIY sign-bearers of the last few weeks, we're highlighting some of our favorite books on poster design. None cooler than this one, featuring 300 fluorescent reproductions of the industrial letterpress posters printed by family-owned Colby Poster Printing Company of Los Angeles from 1948 until 2012, when advances in digital printing finally shut it down. Concerts, gun shows and swap meets were among the commonly printed advertisements. But artists used the press as well. Featured here are prints by Cali Thornhill Dewitt.
